The trendy area of Notting Hill breathes with multi ethnicity and it is a great place to go celebrity spotting. Portobello Road Market is one of the world’s great antiques markets. Browse the acres of bric-a-brac and surely you will find some real treasures. Queens Ice & Bowl in Queensway sounds like a lot of fun. With ten pin, karaoke, ice skating and an Italian ice-cream parlour, you will be spoilt for choice.
